They say, guns don’t kill people; people do.

Yeah, right. And kids do.

When one says, “guns don’t kill people”, it’s worth examining whether the same killing would have taken place in the absense of a gun. In gang wars, the answer would be yes, of course. But in many of the recent killings by school children, or — the horror — toddlers, it’s hard to argue that the answer could even remotely be ‘yes’.

Today’s killing of a 5-year old girl by her 3-year old brother might never have happened if the gun used for the killing were not available to the brother. Morgan King was even younger than Kayla Rolland at the time of her very untimely death (Kayla was thus far the youngest victim of firearm-related deaths.)

With elections around the corner, and everyone debating apparently more important issues, I hope you aren’t forgotten, Morgan.
